      • parseStringList

        public static List<String> parseStringList​(String line)
        Parses a string containing substrings separated from each other by the standard separator characters and returns a list of strings.

The individual string elements are trimmed of leading and trailing whitespace. Only non-empty strings are returned in the list.
        Parameters:
        line - The string to split
        Returns:
        Returns the list containing the individual strings that the input string was split into.

The individual string elements are trimmed of leading and trailing whitespace. Only non-empty strings are returned in the list.
        Parameters:
        line - The string to split
        sep - The list of separators to use for determining where the string should be split. If null, then the standard separators (see StringTokenizer javadocs) are used.
        Returns:
        Returns the list containing the individual strings that the input string was split into.
